Incredible sculptures  by Dan Lane, a.k.a. Mechanica:

Each piece is the result of months of searching and collecting parts and features.  I then employ a unique and meticulous technique of arranging and rearranging hundreds of parts that can take countless hours.  The end result is a dark yet beautiful take on natural forms by mechanical intervention; an industrial version of life.
Through my use gears, cogs, pipes, wires, bracketry, and other mechanical elements it allows the sculptures to take on a new form as though coming to life.”
